The Bachelor Renewed For Season 30 By ABC

The Bachelor has been renewed for a 30th season, continuing its long run as a staple of reality television. The next instalment will mark a major milestone for the series as it heads into the 2025–2026 season with a new showrunner at the helm.

Scott Teti, currently executive producer and showrunner of Bachelor in Paradise, will step into the role, replacing Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner. The former showrunners departed the franchise earlier this year following allegations of fostering a “toxic” work environment.

Despite the behind-the-scenes shake-up, The Bachelor remains one of ABC’s most consistent performers. The franchise has proven its staying power across decades, with recent spin-offs like The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette drawing solid viewership and generating new buzz.
